Maangchi's Amazon picks for tin pot
It's always best to buy Korean items at your local Korean grocery store, but I know that's not always possible, so I chose some products on Amazon that are good quality. See more about how these items were chosen.
This pot is very thin and light, and whatever is inside cooks very quickly. We use this for things that shouldn’t be cooked a long time, like ramyeon. And when eating ramyeon we often use the lid as a makeshift plate, so as not to drip any broth on our clothes while we slurp the noodles!
This is not the proper pot for braising or dishes like pork bone soup, which should be cooked for a long time in a thick bottomed pot.
Hello Maangchi,
What else can these be used for besides ramyeon? Can you make rice in this?
Hi Maangchi, I have the same problem with my tin pot. could you give us advice on how to maintain them?
I have one that turned color inside from the yellow to silver markings — does this mean I should throw it away?
